Unicode Version 17.0
𑌡
U+11321 "𑌡" Grantha Letter Dda is a character from the Grantha script, an ancient writing system historically used in Southern India and Sri Lanka to write Sanskrit, Tamil, and other languages. This specific character represents the voiced retroflex plosive consonant sound "ḍa," which is distinct from the dental "da" sound found in many other languages. As part of the Grantha block in Unicode, it is encoded for use in digital texts, preserving the script for academic, religious, and linguistic purposes where precise phonetic representation of Dravidian or Sanskrit terms is required.
